mud level lol

ok so next problem, there is a clicking in the rear when under torque pressure and the tire keeps coming off, what is a good fix for the tire to stay on??? i shaved the hexes down a lil and torqued em down way tight and the bolts still twist off, i bored em out and that didnt work, i just messed one up... i dont want to order wheel extensions yet...

i searched also the only answer was wheel extensions or boring it out.

Glue the hexes in the wheel. Be careful though, the pins will then fall out when you take the wheels off. I did it on mine and it works good.
